n Church Controversy.

Bishop Parct, Of the Diocese of Maryland,
has been in correspondence with the Rev.
Caloralth Is. Perry, priest in charge Of the
Church OF st. Mary the Virgin, ON Orchard
street, in regard to the recent elaborate ser
vices ut the feast Of the PuriiiCation of the
blessed Virgin. Bishop Parrt was out Of
town yesterday, and Rev. Mr.. Perry said
he could not speak Of what had occurred
between himself and the Bishop 1t is,
however, understood that Bishop Parct
wrote to Rev. Mr.. Perry complaining of
the ceremonies used in the recent festival
at the Church Of ST. Mary the Virgin as
not being in accordance with the uSagcs
and teachings Of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, and hoped that the ceremonies
would not be repeated. Rev. Mr.. Perry
defends his action in the matter, and his
friends contend that he has not violated in
any particular the laws or ruhrcs Of the
church. The ceremony did not take place
ut regular service of tbc church, and
though there is no ubrc calling for the
Ccnslng OF the altar, the priests or the CON
SrCSatlon, those persons who use such
ritual generally base their action upon the
practice OF the Church of England before
the reformation, IN individual instances
since, and the first prayer book of King
Edward the Sixth 1t was rumOred that
the Bishop had intcrdictcd Rev. MIR. Perry
from exercising hiS functions, but this is
denied, and it is asserted that Il bishop of
the Protestant Episcopal Church has no
power of Introduction Of such ceremonies.
and that the only way in which he can call
4 clergyman to account is by presenting
charges before the Standing committee and
putting the clergyman on trial for violation
of some cannon Of the church. Unless
that proceeding is adopted it is claimed that
the bishops power is limited to rcmon-
STRANGE, criticism or advice. This, it is
undcrHtood, is all that the Bishop has done,
but in the meantime Ac has cuuCclcd all his
episcopal engagements until March .ilh.

\ Lively Time in the Indiana senate.

There was lively time in the Indiana
Senate on Thursday. When COL Robert
son, claiming TO have been elected Licutcn-
4 ant-GOVCnOr, came forward to take his
scat, he was met by the assistant door
keeper, and was told that he could not do
so. Green Smith WAS in the chair Smith
ruled that none but Senators could tai !.
part in the debate and denied R0bcrtsC As
right to speak.
The doorkccpcr approached Robe rtson,
took his arm and the two walked out to the
main door. The crowd saw Robertson
come out, and there was great excitement.
lie mounted the steps and made Il speech,
reCiting what had transpircd in the cham,
bcr, and cautioned the people to do nothing
that would infringe the peace or dignity of
the State, or they would regret it in cooler
moments.
This ended the trouble, and Robertson
passed out into the hall of the Iiousc, which
body had not yet met.
During the excitement about the Senate
doors, three Of the Senators ATTEMPTED to
enter, and had difficulty. Senator John.
son, of Wayne, denounced the doorkccpcrs,
and during the No. Z II number of persons
from the inside approached the door,
among them Senator Mcdonald who put
up his hands
johnson interpreted it as an attempt to
thrust him back and struck the Senator in
inc lace. Senator Dcmott was ordered to
his scat and when the sergeant put him
down, he threw him to the floor. The Re
publican Senators started TO follow Robert
son out of the chamber but were not per
mittcd to leave. They sat quietly in thc
rear OF the chamber taking no part in thr
proceedings.
When the House was called to order bills
on their passage were called and one bill
was passed.
The Speaker then announced that when
the Lieutenant Governor was elected in the
Senate according to the Constitution, the
fact OF their passage would be communi
Gated to that body. This was received with
great applause. He has instructed the
